Frankies 457 Spuntino

I photographed Elisa and Radu's beautiful wedding this past weekend here. I highly recommend it! It has a great backyard area for the ceremony and I love the outside and inside options for the reception. The food is amazing! and I love a venue that takes care of the vendors. The branzino dish was one of the best vendor meals I've had!

Highly recommend to start with the fennel, celery root salad and antipasto plate. The Cavatelli with hot sausage is a must. And the meatball with pine nuts & raisins is just dreamy. Finish it off with the prunes & mascarpone! P.S. if you’re in the garden over the summer evenings, the staff have mosquito spray behind the bar!

Delightful and delicious. A great verity of seating options, the backyard and garden tables are pleasant and preferred on nice days if you can get them. The suasuage Cavatelli pasta was perfectly cooked - rich and delicious. It paired well with the perfectly balanced and acidic fennel salad. Ricotta and honey is skippable. The red wine prunes were just OK, not fully realized. Service was friendly but not overbearing, maybe to a fault, but it's a busy place. Will return.

When we lived in the city, this was our absolute FAVORITE restaurant. After moving up to the Hudson Valley, we decided to have a date day to spend in this area of Brooklyn and made reservations at Frankie's. SO happy to report that Frankie's hasn't changed, and in a very good way. It's still just as wonderful as we remember. The food is astonishingly good as always, and the ambience is just perfect!

Been to many Italian restaurants in nyc, a very picky eater, and have to admit there are only two places in the city (both are in Brooklyn) with such delicious pasta, wine and insanely delicious deserts. My favorite dishes I do not hesitate to order again and again with no regrets of not trying something else because these are too good: grocchi marinara and red wine prunes with mascarpone. Wine list is outstanding. Relatively busy, very popular among locals, reservation is certainly needed, very Brooklyn, very homey, a place we come back to again and again.

This Brooklyn restaurant and wedding venue is a hidden gem with a great vibe and atmosphere. Our team at Megan & Kenneth headed to Frankie’s 457 Spuntino for an intimate wedding ceremony and celebration in the Stable and Pizza Gardens. The venue staff goes the extra mile for the couple, guests, and vendors alike. As wedding photographers and videographers, we especially loved the versatility of the indoor and outdoor spaces offers for a variety of spots to shoot memorable photos.
